Typing on the Maritsa

Latest machine in the collection.

A look at the Maritsa 30

Let's take a look at the latest typewriter to join the collection, a Maritsa 30. It is a late 1980s machine with a plastic body. An unusual feature is that access to the ribbon requires removing two pieces of cover plate not one which is a bit of a faf. The typewriter is a good looking machine though, with a nearly new feel to it. The case is rather nice, making the typewriter look like an old microcomputer!

Operation wise it isn't bad. The keys are a little stiff but this may improve with more usage. The ribbon is nearly completely worn out, just a little bit of red ink remains. We will look to get a new ribbon later in the year.

Maritsa

Time for a new arrival to the typewriter collection, and it is a Maritsa 30. The first Maritsa machine i have bought and is a fine late 1980s typewriter. I've now got both of the manual typewriters which were on sale in the 1990 Littlewoods catalogue!
